The ATM device may include a sync button to initiate communicative coupling of the ATM device and the user device. The request may be based on a user selection of the sync button. The device may communicatively couple to the ATM device, and provide, to the ATM device, the user authentication credential and data regarding the particular ATM transaction type to cause the ATM device to perform the ATM transaction. The device may display information regarding the ATM transaction.

BACKGROUND

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description of example implementations refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.

In many cases, a user must insert a transaction card into (or swipe a transaction card through) a card reader of an ATM device, and enter a corresponding PIN using a touch screen display or a keypad of the ATM device, in order to conduct an ATM transaction. This introduces the possibility of theft of the user's account data, however, since a malicious user can easily install skimmers, cameras, and/or the like to illicitly capture the user's PIN or transaction card data. Furthermore, user interface components of a typical ATM device, such as a touch screen display and a keypad, are subject to wear and tear, due to frequent use, which increases the costs of maintaining the ATM device.

Some implementations, described herein, provide a user device that is capable of functioning as a user interface for an ATM device. In some implementations, the user device is capable of permitting a user to input the user's authentication credential (e.g., personal identification number (PIN)) and make ATM transaction selection(s), and providing the authentication credential, and information regarding the ATM transaction selection(s), to the ATM device to perform transaction(s). In some implementations, the ATM device lacks user interface components, such as a touch screen display, a keypad, and/or the like, that are typically included in an ATM device. In some implementations, the ATM device may include a user-selectable synchronization (“sync”) button that, when selected, enables the ATM device to pair with the user device, and one or more illumination components (e.g., light-emitting diodes (LEDs)) that may be used to provide user notifications.

In this way, an ATM device manufacturer can provide an ATM device that includes fewer components, which simplifies the design and manufacturing of the ATM device, thereby reducing costs. In addition, this reduces or eliminates the possibility of wear and tear of the ATM device that would otherwise occur due to frequent user interaction with user interface components. Furthermore, enabling a user device (e.g., that is external to an ATM device) to function as a user interface of the ATM device reduces or eliminates a need for a user to input the user's PIN directly to the ATM device, which reduces or eliminates the possibility of theft (e.g., via skimmers, cameras, and/or the like) of user account data and improves the overall security of ATM transactions.

FIGS. 1A-1I are diagrams of an overview of an example implementation 100 described herein. Example implementation 100 may include a user device, an ATM card, and an ATM device. The ATM card may include a transaction card, such as a debit card, a credit card, and/or the like. The ATM device may be display-free—that is, the ATM device may not include a display, such as a touch screen display. In some implementations, the ATM device may include no user input components other than a sync button (e.g., described in more detail below).

In some implementations, the user device may include an application—e.g., an ATM transaction application—configured to enable the user device to interact with ATM devices. In some implementations, the application, when executed by one or more processors of the user device, may cause the one or more processors to present a user interface (e.g., various user interface screens) that permits a user to input user authentication credential information, such as a PIN, and make ATM transaction selection(s), prior to proceeding to the ATM device to conduct the transaction(s).

As shown in FIG. 1A, and as shown by reference number 102, the user device may detect that a user wants to conduct an ATM transaction. For example, the user device may detect a presence of the ATM card (e.g., via near-field communication (NFC) and/or the like), and determine that the user wants to conduct an ATM transaction based on detecting the presence of the ATM card. As another example, the user device may detect (e.g., via the user interface) a user input indicating that the user wants to conduct an ATM transaction.

As shown in FIG. 1B, and as shown by reference number 104, the user device may prompt (e.g., via the user interface) the user for a PIN, and detect a PIN entry. As shown in FIG. 1C, and as shown by reference number 106, the user device may store the PIN, and display a user interface screen that prompts the user to select one or more ATM transactions that the user wants to conduct. The ATM transactions may include, for example, a withdrawal of funds from the user's account, a deposit of funds into the user's account, a request for balance information regarding the user's account, and/or the like. As shown by reference number 108, the user may make one or more ATM transaction selection(s).

As shown in FIG. 1D, and as shown by reference number 110, the user may proceed to the ATM device with the user device. In some implementations, the user may access the ATM transaction application on the user device when the user is near the ATM device. In some implementations, the ATM transaction application may automatically execute when the user device is near the ATM device. As one example, the user device may automatically cause the ATM transaction application to execute when the user device is located within a threshold distance from the ATM device (e.g., based on a current location of the user device (e.g., as detected by a location-based receiver included in the user device) relative to a known location of the ATM device), when the user device detects one or more signals broadcasted by the ATM device, when the user device receives, from the ATM device, response(s) to signals broadcasted by the user device, and/or the like. As shown by reference number 112, the user device and the ATM device may pair with one another. In some implementations, the ATM device may include a wireless transceiver (e.g., a Bluetooth-based communication interface and/or the like), and a sync button that, when selected by a user, enables the wireless transceiver to initiate wireless communications, such as to communicatively couple with a user device. Here, for example, the user may select the sync button (e.g., by pressing the sync button), and the ATM device may communicatively couple with the user device based on the selection.

In situations where there are multiple ATM devices near one another, and to avoid the possibility of a user device pairing with an unintended ATM device (e.g., an ATM device that is not directly in front of the user of the user device) and a user of the user device mistakenly conducting a transaction with the unintended ATM device, each of the ATM devices may be associated with a unique identifier (e.g., a name or a device ID that includes alphanumeric characters), may be visibly marked (e.g., on a surface of a body of the ATM device in the form of a tag, a plate, an etching (e.g., a laser etching and/or the like), and/or the like) with the unique identifier, and may broadcast a pairing signal (e.g., a Bluetooth-based signal) containing the unique identifier. Here, even if a first user, of a first user device, might select the sync button of a first ATM device, and a second user, of a second user device, might simultaneously (or near simultaneously) select the sync button of a second ATM device, each of the first ATM device and the second ATM device may broadcast the pairing signal, each of the first user device and the second user device may receive such signals and display the corresponding unique identifiers (e.g., as two user-selectable icons) for user selection, and each of the first user and the second user may easily select the appropriate unique identifier based on the visible markings on the first ATM device and the second ATM device.

In some implementations, the ATM device may be configured to terminate a communication session with the user device after the selected transaction(s) are completed. In some implementations, the ATM device may permit a user to end a communication session early by selecting the sync button during the communication session. Additionally, or alternatively, the user device may provide (e.g., via the user interface) a user-selectable input that permits a user to selectively end a communication session early.

In some implementations, the ATM device may include one or more LEDs that can be used to provide one or more status notifications to users. For example, the ATM device may cause an LED to illuminate when the ATM device is successfully paired with a user device. This may, for example, permit a user (e.g., after selecting the sync button and prior to the user's user device providing PIN information to the ATM device for authentication or validation) to ensure, via a visual cue, that the user's user device is paired with an intended ATM device. In addition, this reduces or eliminates the possibility of a user's account information being compromised by thieves, such as via spoofing devices that copy and utilize ATM identifier information to deceive users to sync the users' user devices with the spoofing devices.

In some implementations, the ATM device may cause an LED to illuminate in different manners (e.g., illuminate and remain illuminated for different periods of time, illuminate at different intensities, illuminate in different colors, and/or the like), depending on whether device pairing is successful, whether a correct PIN is inputted, whether the ATM device is out of cash, whether the ATM device is functioning properly, and/or the like. As some examples, the ATM device may cause an LED to illuminate in green when a user's PIN is validated, illuminate in red if an inputted PIN is incorrect, and/or periodically illuminate (e.g., blink) in red if the ATM device is malfunctioning and/or out of cash.

In some implementations, and to thwart attempts by a malicious user to “listen in” and/or record data transmissions between the ATM device and other user devices, the ATM device may employ an encryption protocol (e.g., a hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS)-based protocol and/or the like) to secure the data transmissions.

In some implementations, the ATM device may be configured to prevent a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where a malicious user alters the ATM device's unique identifier to display a unique identifier that is associated with the malicious user's own user device—e.g., a malicious device—such that the malicious device pairs with other user devices attempting to communicatively couple to the ATM device (i.e., in order to function as a pathway between the ATM device and the other user devices), and digitally skims, or steals, data transmitted from the other user devices. To prevent such attacks, the ATM device may be configured to limit a quantity of times that each user device may communicatively couple to the ATM device per unit time (e.g., up to a threshold quantity of connections with the ATM device per day, per hour, and/or the like), limit a duration of each communication session with a user device (e.g., by automatically terminating a communication session upon, or after, completion of a transaction, by automatically terminating a communication session upon, or after, a threshold period of time has elapsed from when the communication session is established, and/or the like). In this way, if a malicious device attempts to communicatively couple to the ATM device after a connection limit has been reached, and/or the like, the ATM device may refuse to further communicatively couple with the malicious device.

In some implementations, the ATM device may be configured to restrict a user device from communicatively coupling to the ATM device for more than a single transaction account. That is, if a malicious device communicatively couples to the ATM device for a first transaction account associated with a first user, and subsequently attempts to communicatively couple to the ATM device for a second transaction account associated with a second user, the ATM device may refuse to communicatively couple with the malicious device. In some implementations, the second user's user device may receive an error (e.g., from the ATM device) when the second user attempts to authenticate (via the malicious device). In some implementations, the error may include information indicating that a different user device needs to be used. Alternatively, the error may not include any additional information so as to obscure a root cause of the error. In some implementations, a user may be permitted to reset, or otherwise disassociate, the user's transaction account from a previously associated user device. In some implementations, the user's user device may be automatically disassociated from the user's transaction account after a predefined period of time, such as after one day, after one week, after one month, and/or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1E, and as shown by reference number 114, the user device may provide, to the ATM device, the user's PIN for validation, and information regarding the ATM transaction selection(s) made by the user (e.g., information regarding whether and how much funds are to be withdrawn, whether and how much funds are to be deposited, whether balance information is to be provided, and/or the like).

As shown by reference number 116, the ATM device may validate the user's PIN. In some implementations, the ATM device may communicate with one or more server devices (e.g., validation device(s)) to validate the PIN. As shown by reference number 118, the ATM device may provide, to the user device, an indication that the user's PIN is validated. In some implementations, the user device may display (e.g., via the user interface) a notification to the user indicating that the user's PIN has been validated.

As shown in FIG. 1F, and as shown by reference number 120, the transaction may then be conducted, depending on user's selected ATM transaction(s). As an example, in a case where the user's selected ATM transaction is to deposit cash, deposit a check, and/or the like, the user device may prompt the user to insert cash and/or check(s) into the ATM device. In some implementations, the indication that the user's PIN is validated (reference number 118) may trigger the user device to prompt the user to insert the cash and/or the check(s). Additionally, or alternatively, and in some implementations, the ATM device may provide, to the user device, a separate instruction to prompt the user to insert the cash and/or the check(s).

As another example, in a case where the user's selected ATM transaction is to withdraw cash, the ATM device may dispense the appropriate amount of cash, and the user device may prompt the user to obtain the cash from the ATM device. In some implementations, the ATM device may provide, to the user device, an instruction to prompt the user to obtain the cash from the ATM device. As yet another example, in a case where the user's selected ATM transaction is to check balance information, the ATM device may provide, to the user device, information regarding a balance of the user's account, which the user device may display to the user.

As described above, the user device may provide a user interface that permits a user to input a PIN and to make ATM transaction selection(s), prior to proceeding to the ATM device to conduct the transaction(s). Alternatively, and in some implementations, the user device and the ATM device may communicatively couple, or pair, with one another, after which the ATM device may cause the user device to present the various user interface screens relating to PIN entry and ATM transaction selection.

As shown in FIG. 1G, and as shown by reference number 152, the user may proceed to the ATM device with the user device. As shown by reference number 154, the user device and the ATM device may pair with one another. For example, the user may select the sync button of the ATM device, and the user device and the ATM device may pair with one another based on the user's selection, as described above with respect to reference number 112.

As shown in FIG. 1H, and as shown by reference number 156, the ATM device may instruct the user device to prompt the user for a PIN. In some implementations, the ATM device may include a transaction card reader (e.g., a card insertion or swiping mechanism, a contactless card reading mechanism, and/or the like). In such cases, the ATM device may instruct the user device to prompt the user for a PIN based on the user inserting the ATM card into the transaction card reader, swiping the ATM card through the transaction card reader, and/or tapping the ATM card on (or placing the ATM card near) the transaction card reader. In some implementations, the ATM device may not include a transaction card reader. In such cases, the ATM device may instruct the user device to prompt the user for a PIN based on information, regarding the ATM card, provided by the user device (e.g., after the user device detects the ATM card via NFC, based on card information pre-stored in memory in the user device, and/or the like).

As shown by reference number 158, the user device may display a user interface that prompts the user for a PIN, and detect a PIN entry. As shown by reference number 160, the user device may provide, to the ATM device, the user's PIN for validation. As shown by reference number 162, the ATM device may validate the user's PIN.

As shown in FIG. 1I, and as shown by reference number 164, the ATM device may provide, to the user device, an indication that the user's PIN is validated. As shown by reference number 166, the user device may display a user interface that prompts the user to select one or more ATM transactions that the user wants to conduct. In some implementations, the indication that the user's PIN is validated (reference number 164) may trigger the user device to prompt the user to select one or more ATM transactions. Additionally, or alternatively, and in some implementations, the ATM device may provide, to the user device, a separate instruction to prompt the user to select one or more ATM transactions.

As shown by reference number 168, the user may make one or more ATM transaction selections via the user interface on the user device. As shown by reference number 170, the user device may provide, to the ATM device, information regarding the ATM transaction selection(s) to cause the ATM device to perform the corresponding transaction(s) (e.g., as described above with respect to reference number 120).

In some implementations, and although not shown, the ATM device may be associated with, and communicatively coupled to (e.g., via a wired connection and/or a wireless connection), a dedicated user device that enables a user to interact with the ATM device to conduct transactions in manners similar to those described above with respect to FIGS. 1A-1I. In some implementations, the dedicated user device may be disposed in proximity to (e.g., disposed within a short distance, such as within several meters and/or the like, from) the ATM device, and may be pre-sync′d with the ATM device. In some implementations, the dedicated user device may be removably attached to a surface (e.g., a wall near the ATM device, a surface of the body of the ATM device, and/or the like), which permits a user, when conducting a transaction at the ATM device, to position and/or orient the dedicated user device according to the user's preference, height, and/or the like.

In this way, an ATM device manufacturer can provide an ATM device that includes fewer components, which simplifies the design and manufacturing of the ATM device, thereby reducing costs. In addition, this reduces or eliminates the possibility of wear and tear of the ATM device that would otherwise occur due to frequent user interaction with user interface components. Furthermore, enabling a user device (e.g., that is external to an ATM device) to function as a user interface of the ATM device reduces or eliminates a need for a user to input the user's PIN directly to the ATM device, which reduces or eliminates the possibility of theft (e.g., via skimmers, cameras, and/or the like) of user account data and improves the overall security of ATM transactions.

As indicated above, FIGS. 1A-1I are provided merely as examples. Other examples are possible and may differ from what was described with regard to FIGS. 1A-1I.

For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, output component 360, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may display information regarding the ATM transaction after providing the user authentication credential and the data regarding the particular ATM transaction type, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

Process 400 may include additional implementations, such as any single implementation or any combination of implementations described below and/or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

In some implementations, the ATM device may lack user interface components other than the sync button. In some implementations, receiving the indication may include detecting, by the user device, a presence of an ATM transaction card (e.g., transaction card 250), or receiving, by the user device, a user command to conduct the ATM transaction using information associated with the ATM transaction card.

In some implementations, the ATM device may include an illumination component configured to provide user notifications. In some implementations, the user notifications may relate to successful communicatively coupling of the user device and the ATM device, validation of the user authentication credential, an availability of funds in the ATM device, or an operating status of the ATM device.

In some implementations, the user device may initiate a timer after detecting the one or more user inputs, and determine whether the timer has expired prior to providing the user authentication credential and the data regarding the particular ATM transaction type. In some implementations, providing the user authentication credential and the data regarding the particular ATM transaction type may include providing the user authentication credential and the data regarding the particular ATM transaction type further based on determining that the timer has not expired.

In some implementations, the ATM device may include a card reading mechanism. In some implementations, the ATM device may lack user interface components other than the sync button and the card reading mechanism. In some implementations, the user device may receive, from the ATM device, the information regarding the ATM transaction.

In some implementations, the information regarding the ATM transaction may include an instruction to the user to insert one or more financial instruments into the ATM device, or to retrieve one or more financial instruments from the ATM device, depending on the particular ATM transaction type.

Although FIG. 4 shows example blocks of process 400, in some implementations, process 400 may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIG. 4. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of process 400 may be performed in parallel.

FIGS. 5A and 5B are diagrams of an example process 500 for using a user device to interact with an ATM device. In some implementations, one or more process blocks of FIGS. 5A and 5B may be performed by user device 240. In some implementations, one or more process blocks of FIGS. 5A and 5B may be performed by another device or a group of devices separate from or including user device 240, such as ATM device 205, validation device 230, and/or transaction card 250.

In some implementations, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store instructions. In some implementations, the instructions may include one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user device (e.g., user device 240), cause the one or more processors to perform process 500.

As shown in FIG. 5A, process 500 may include receiving, from an ATM device (e.g., ATM device 205), a pairing instruction, where the ATM device may include a sync button to initiate pairing of the ATM device and the user device, and where the pairing instruction may be based on a user selection of the sync button (block 505). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may receive, from ATM device 205, a pairing instruction, where ATM device 205 may include a sync button to initiate pairing of ATM device 205 and user device 240, and where the pairing instruction may be based on a user selection of the sync button, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 5A, process 500 may include communicatively coupling to the ATM device based on the pairing instruction (block 510).

As further shown in FIG. 5A, process 500 may include receiving, from the ATM device, a request for user authentication credential information after communicatively coupling to the ATM device (block 515). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may receive, from ATM device 205, a request for user authentication credential information after communicatively coupling to ATM device 205, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 5A, process 500 may include causing a first prompt, for a user to input a user authentication credential, to be presented based on receiving the request (block 520). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, output component 360, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may cause a first prompt, for a user to input a user authentication credential, to be presented based on receiving the request, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 5A, process 500 may include detecting a user input that includes the user authentication credential after causing the first prompt to be presented (block 525). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, input component 350, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may detect a user input that includes the user authentication credential after causing the first prompt to be presented, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 5A, process 500 may include providing, to the ATM device, the user authentication credential based on detecting the user input (block 530). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may provide, to ATM device 205, the user authentication credential based on detecting the user input, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As shown in FIG. 5B, process 500 may include obtaining, from the ATM device, an authorization to proceed with an ATM transaction after providing the user authentication credential (block 535). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may obtain, from ATM device 205, an authorization to proceed with an ATM transaction after providing the user authentication credential, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 5B, process 500 may include causing a second prompt, for the user to select an ATM transaction type, to be presented based on obtaining the authorization (block 540). For example, user device 240 (e.g., using processor 320, memory 330, storage component 340, output component 360, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may cause a second prompt, for the user to select an ATM transaction type, to be presented based on obtaining the authorization, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 5B, process 500 may include detecting a user selection of a particular ATM transaction type after causing the second prompt to be presented (block 545).

Process 500 may include additional implementations, such as any single implementation or any combination of implementations described below and/or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

In some implementations, the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, may further cause the one or more processors to provide, to the ATM device and prior to receiving the request for the user authentication credential information, data relating to a transaction card (e.g., transaction card 250) that is associated with the user.

In some implementations, the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to receive the request, may cause the one or more processors to receive the request based on detection, by the ATM device, of a presence of a transaction card (e.g., transaction card 250) associated with the user.

In some implementations, the particular ATM transaction type may relate to withdrawing financial instruments from the ATM device. In some implementations, the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, may further cause the one or more processors to receive, from the ATM device, an instruction to prompt the user to obtain a financial instrument from the ATM device.

In some implementations, the particular ATM transaction type may relate to depositing financial instruments into the ATM device. In some implementations, the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, may further cause the one or more processors to receive, from the ATM device, an instruction to prompt the user to deposit a financial instrument into the ATM device. In some implementations, the ATM device may lack a display screen.

Although FIGS. 5A and 5B show example blocks of process 500, in some implementations, process 500 may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of process 500 may be performed in parallel.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart of an example process 600 using an ATM device to interact with a user device to facilitate a transaction. In some implementations, one or more process blocks of FIG. 6 may be performed by ATM device 205. In some implementations, one or more process blocks of FIG. 6 may be performed by another device or a group of devices separate from or including ATM device 205, such as validation device 230, user device 240, and/or transaction card 250.

In some implementations, an ATM device (e.g., ATM device 205) may include a device body. In some implementations, the device body may include a sync button to initiate wireless communications with external user devices (e.g., user devices 240). In some implementations, the ATM device may include a communication interface (e.g., communication interface 225, communication interface 370, and/or the like) configured to communicatively couple to external user devices (e.g., user devices 240) based on a user selection of the sync button, one or more memories (e.g., memory 220, memory 330, and/or the like), and one or more processors (e.g., processor(s) 215, processor 320, and/or the like) communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the communication interface. In some implementations, the one or more processors may be configured to perform process 600.

As shown in FIG. 6, process 600 may include causing the communication interface to provide, to an external user device, a first instruction to prompt a user of the external user device to input PIN information relating to an account associated with the user (block 610). For example, ATM device 205 (e.g., using processor(s) 215, processor 320, memory 220, memory 330, storage component 340, and/or the like) may cause communication interface 225 and/or communication interface 370 to provide, to an external user device (e.g., user device 240), a first instruction to prompt a user of the external user device to input PIN information relating to an account associated with the user, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 6, process 600 may include receiving, via the communication interface, a PIN provided by the external user device after causing the communication interface to provide the first instruction (block 620). For example, ATM device 205 (e.g., using processor(s) 215, processor 320, memory 220, memory 330, storage component 340, and/or the like) may receive, via communication interface 225 and/or communication interface 370, a PIN provided by the external user device (e.g., user device 240) after causing communication interface 225 and/or communication interface 370 to provide the first instruction, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 6, process 600 may include performing an action to validate the PIN with respect to the account (block 630). For example, ATM device 205 (e.g., using processor(s) 215, processor 320, memory 220, memory 330, storage component 340, communication interface 225, communication interface 370, and/or the like) may perform an action to validate the PIN with respect to the account, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 6, process 600 may include causing the communication interface to provide, to the external user device and based on validating the PIN, a second instruction to prompt the user to specify transaction information (block 640). For example, ATM device 205 (e.g., using processor(s) 215, processor 320, memory 220, memory 330, storage component 340, and/or the like) may cause communication interface 225 and/or communication interface 370 to provide, to the external user device (e.g., user device 240) and based on validating the PIN, a second instruction to prompt the user to specify transaction information, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

As further shown in FIG. 6, process 600 may include performing an ATM transaction based on the transaction information (block 650). For example, ATM device 205 (e.g., using processor(s) 215, processor 320, memory 220, memory 330, storage component 340, and/or the like) may perform an ATM transaction based on the transaction information, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1A-1I.

Process 600 may include additional implementations, such as any single implementation or any combination of implementations described below and/or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

In some implementations, the one or more processors, when causing the communication interface to provide the second instruction, may be configured to cause the communication interface to provide the second instruction to prompt the user to select an ATM transaction type. In some implementations, the one or more processors may be further configured to receive a user selection of the sync button, and cause the communication interface to broadcast a pairing request based on receiving the user selection of the sync button.

In some implementations, the one or more processors may be further configured to receive a pairing response from the external user device after causing the communication interface to broadcast the pairing request, and cause the communication interface to establish a communication session with the external user device based on receiving the pairing response. In some implementations, the device body may lack any user interface components other than the sync button.

In some implementations, the ATM device may further include an additional communication interface configured to detect contactless transaction cards located within a threshold distance from the ATM device. In some implementations, the one or more processors may be further configured to receive, from the additional communication interface, an indication that a contactless transaction card is located within the threshold distance from the ATM device.

Although FIG. 6 shows example blocks of process 600, in some implementations, process 600 may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIG. 6. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of process 600 may be performed in parallel.

Some implementations, described herein, provide a user device 240 that is capable of functioning as a user interface for an ATM device 205. In some implementations, user device 240 is capable of permitting a user to input the user's authentication credential (e.g., personal identification number (PIN)) and make ATM transaction selection(s), and providing the authentication credential, and information regarding the ATM transaction selection(s), to ATM device 205 to perform transaction(s). In some implementations, ATM device 205 lacks user interface components, such as a touch screen display, a keypad, and/or the like, that are typically included in an ATM device. In some implementations, ATM device 205 may include a user-selectable synchronization (“sync”) button that, when selected, enables ATM device 205 to pair with user device 240, and one or more illumination components (e.g., light-emitting diodes (LEDs)) that may be used to provide user notifications.

In this way, an ATM device manufacturer can provide an ATM device that includes fewer components, which simplifies the design and manufacturing of the ATM device, thereby reducing costs. In addition, this reduces or eliminates the possibility of wear and tear of the ATM device that would otherwise occur due to frequent user interaction with user interface components. Furthermore, enabling a user device (e.g., that is external to an ATM device) to function as a user interface of the ATM device reduces or eliminates a need for a user to input the user's PIN directly to the ATM device, which reduces or eliminates the possibility of theft (e.g., via skimmers, cameras, and/or the like) of user account data and improves the overall security of ATM transactions.

The foregoing disclosure provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the implementations to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above disclosure or may be acquired from practice of the implementations.

In some implementations, a user may interact with the information, such as by providing input via an input component of a device that provides the user interface for display. In some implementations, a user interface may be configurable by a device and/or a user (e.g., a user may change the size of the user interface, information provided via the user interface, a position of information provided via the user interface, etc.). Additionally, or alternatively, a user interface may be pre-configured to a standard configuration, a specific configuration based on a type of device on which the user interface is displayed, and/or a set of configurations based on capabilities and/or specifications associated with a device on which the user interface is displayed.
